Hello everyone! My name is Jessica and I'm the founder of Online Office E-ssistant. I hope to utilize this site for great ideas to help expand my growing business and to network with more virtual assistants! I have wanted to start my own business for a while but could never figure out what I would be doing. I recently just had my first child in May and knew I wanted to continue working, but at the same time wanted to be home with him. My new career offers me the best of both worlds. I truly love what I do now and have never been happier! It is so rewarding helping business owners and hearing how grateful they are for our services. I wish you all the best of luck and happy holidays!!

Best,
Jessica

Hi Jessica,

Congratulations of your baby. Isn't having a little one the most amazing thing? I remember my daughter and I did nothing but hold her and cry for months because I was so amazed.

Anyway, my name is Simone and I'm new to the forums here. I'm still trying to learn my way around. I own Executive Vritual Services and provide administrative support, specifically transcription and database management.

I look forward to connecting in the future. Enjoy your new baby, they grow up way too fast.

Warmly,

Hi Jessica, welcome to the site and congratulations on the birth of your little guy
So many of us here can relate to that wonderful feeling of being able to be home with and for our families while still doing challenging and rewarding work AND while growing a business.

You're in the right place, so make yourself at home and don't be shy about posting your own questions and comments to the boards.

Wishing you much success in the coming new year!

Yes, welcome to this great forum. It really warmed my heart to read how happy you were with your new baby boy. Even though all my babies are now into their 20s (where did the time go?), I know exactly how you feel. I am so happy for you that you have today's virtual world to further your career and at the same time be home with your son. Believe me, you can't trade in the years with your children for anything!

Good luck with your new business, Jessica!

(P.S. My older daughter lives in Boston while on a 2-year research project at Boston Children's Hospital -- just thought I'd add that in )

Happy Holidays to you and your new family!
